Initial Report

Sunflower Elementary School, and Andover Central and Middle Schools were locked down as a precaution as police searched for a burglary suspect in the area.

As an extra precaution, all of the other 7 schools in USD 385 were also locked down.

The district said this is not a full lockdown. Students may move about inside the hallways. But this is a measure the administration took to make sure students are safe.

Butler Community College's Andover Campus is also locked down right now.
